A certain young lady I know called me to announce her engagement. I was so pleased to hear that. She’s great young lady and deserves every happiness in the world.
I was modestly embarrassed that she felt it necessary to tell me herself before I read it on Facebook. Folks don’t have to show me such respect.
Remember the one of the sources of my education: … … and creating caring human relationships from studying the movie roles of Gunny Ronald Lee Ermey!
So, I was honored by the call.
Today, I got a call from the Mother of the Bride. Of course, she’s tickled. And, we chatted about it.
Then she said something that really moved me. “When {Privacy Invoked} told me, she said: “He’s just like Uncle John but younger.”
I was stunned some one using me as a measuring stick. I’d say that is very small stick and should be easy to surpass.
I hope he’s much better than me. Because I know all my short comings and failures.
In a very bad year, this could be high point.
Mozel Tov.
And, I’d have been just happy if I had read it on Facebook.
Remember Frau Reinke dictum: “Don’t give him any compliments. His head barely fits through the door now.” She, of course, was absolutely right.
Now how will I get this giant head in the front door? Guess I can get it in through the patio sliding glass one.
Hope this makes you laugh. It makes me very humble.
